Incredible food. Beautiful location. Very friendly staff with knowledge of the food they are serving. Chefs choice but so yummy. I like sharing plates. Highly recommended.
Goodness utterly delicious, service excellent.
Highly recommended!
I would highly recommend the Tapas menu. The each course was beautifully presented. The food combinations worked so well and the octopus course brought that theatrical element to the meal. We had a wonderful afternoon and will be back
I can just say that it was a very beautiful evening and a treat.
I booked for the restaurant week special for myself only while it is supposed to be a tapas shared menu. I was thinking that they would just do less dishes for me, as I was on my own, but no... I had the full experience, with just smaller portion.

It was advertised as a three course menu, but each course was made of 2 plates, which actually became a 6 dishes menu.
From the start to the end, the plates were nicely prepared, very tasty with nice combination of flavors and delicate...
The service was very professional, with waiters knowing exactly what was on the plates.
Very, very nice experience...

About The Farm Eatery
Cuisine: French, Farm-to-Table
The Farm Eatery is a place where you can enjoy the flavours of the countryside and the relaxing farm ambience in an old stable, restored with care by the Louw family, where they’ve been making wine for six generations. Here locally grown and regionally sourced produce inspire Chef Martin De Kock to blend his classical French training with the flavours of Provencal France, Spain and a touch of Asia. The herbs and some of the vegetables are from the kitchen garden, the preserves and pickles home-made, and the bread freshly baked. A balance of traditional roots and tantalising countryside cuisine mixed with homely farm vibes, and edgy cooking. That’s how we roll.
Meet Martin, The Head Chef and Proprietor
Born in Pretoria, and schooled in Durbanville, Chef Martin de Kock originally had his sights set on a legal career and was accepted as a law student at Stellenbosch University. His mother encouraged his passion for great cuisine and swayed him to turn his talent for cooking into a professional career. And so, Martin went on to attend the prestigious Institute for Culinary Arts (ICA) in Stellenbosch.
Whilst studying, Chef Martin did practical stints at leading Cape restaurants, including the Green House at Cellars-Hohenhort in Constantia, and Overture in Stellenbosch. Chef Martin also worked at Jordan Restaurant under Chef George Jardine before moving to Diemersdal in 2014, where he has been Head Chef since its inception, establishing The Farm Eatery as one of the most popular culinary destinations in the Cape Town Winelands.
